Kelly McGillis and Paul Reiser were considered for the lead roles early in production, but were replaced due to lack of chemistry between them.
B-movie legend and December 1982 Penthouse Pet of the Month, Monique Gabrielle's full nude scene as Tracey in which she tries to seduce Rick, propelled her into the world's consciousness, but it would be her only prominent role. For the rest of her career she went on to play parts, mostly requiring nudity, in a series of low-budget horror, action and comedy films, most going straight to video. She then ended up starring in and producing porn videos.
According to the DVD, this film was inspired by the actual bachelor party thrown for producer Bob Israel.
Due to scheduling conflicts with Revenge of the Nerds (1984), Ted McGinley turned down the role of Ryko.
Kelly McGillis had secured the female lead, but was fired early in the shoot because she wasn't considered to be pretty or sexy enough.
